Dozens of politicians and business leaders from Hong Kong and Macau bid farewell to Lui at the Hong Kong Funeral Home in North Point. Among them were Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu and Macau businesswoman Angela Leong On Kei.
Joining them were Edmund Ho Hau-wah, a former Macau executive who is now vice chairman of the political advisory body to the Chinese legislature, and Fernando Chui Sai-on, also a former executive. Both officials oversaw Macau’s casino-dependent economy, where Lui’s Galaxy Entertainment Group was one of six concessionaires operating the only legal gambling halls on Chinese soil.
Tung Chee-hwa, 87, Hong Kong’s first CEO after the city’s return to Chinese sovereignty in 1997, was not among the pallbearers due to his old age. He was listed as honorary director of a funeral committee made up of more than 100 dignitaries from Hong Kong and Macau, according to a tribute published on Tuesday.
Former Hong Kong Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying served as honorary director of the committee, while John Lee, Macau Chief Executive Ho Iat Seng, and Zheng Yanxiong, director of the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in Hong Kong, led the funeral committee, it said tribute.
